Why are natural toothpastes better for your teeth?

Have you ever looked at the composition of your toothpaste? Too often neglected, toothpaste is a bathroom essential, used at least 2 times a day! Here's what you stand to gain from adding natural toothpaste to your clean beauty routine.

What's the difference between natural and conventional toothpaste?

You may not realize it, but the ingredients in conventional toothpastes are far from irreproachable, and are the subject of much controversy. Controversial ingredients in conventional toothpastes include : 

  • Triclosan, suspected of being a potential endocrine disruptor;
  • Certain sulfates are potentially carcinogenic; 
  • Titanium dioxide, supposedly toxic; 
  • Fluorine, suspected of being a potential endocrine disruptor and carcinogen. 

What's more, conventional toothpastes are also full of artificial fragrances, colorants and preservatives. All these chemical elements make for an explosive cocktail that we could do without! 

It's true that all these chemical ingredients play a major part in the sensoriality of your toothpaste (generous foam, pleasant texture, minty fragrance, etc.), but once you're aware of their potential harmfulness, it's better to opt for natural toothpaste. And guess what: some natural toothpastes don't even require you to compromise between effectiveness and sensoriality! 

Why choose natural toothpaste?

If just a few years ago, natural toothpaste was synonymous with a pasty, non-foaming texture and relative freshness, this is no longer the case.

The natural beauty sector has come a long way in recent years. Some brands, like Lebon for example, now offer natural toothpastes so sensory that you'll never want to go back to your old tube... 

Natural toothpaste is the 100% clean alternative to conventional toothpaste, using no potentially harmful ingredients and favoring natural ingredients such as :

  • Baking soda, highly effective in reducing stains and antibacterial.
  • Essential oils, for their antimicrobial properties and fragrance power;
  • Plant extracts for a fresh, soothing effect...
  • Trace elements to strengthen gums. 

So there's no need to compromise between natural toothpaste, effectiveness and sensoriality. And, if you're still not convinced, we invite you to read our founder Juliette's testimonial, in which she shares her transition to clean, natural toothpaste. 

What's the best natural toothpaste?

Of course, not all natural toothpastes are created equal, and even if some of them are very similar to conventional toothpastes, there can sometimes be small differences... Indeed, a natural sulfate-free toothpaste doesn't produce as generous a foam as its conventional counterpart; its quantity is a little lower, but it's not absent either. It's time to dispel a common misconception: less foaming doesn't mean less effective cleaning! 

Finally, the best natural toothpaste is the one that meets your requirements: yes, we all have different expectations in terms of toothpaste. Some people prefer solid or powder toothpastes (often less foaming), while others prefer fresh, foaming textures with a minty fragrance.
